WFDB to convene 41st World Diamond Congress in Singapore from 12-15 July 2026

The 41st World Diamond Congress will take place in Singapore from 12-15 July 2026, bringing together the full diamond industry pipeline for the industry’s premier international forum. Global leaders from across the natural diamond value chain will discuss consumer demand, market recovery, technology, provenance and the future of the industry. WFDB delegates will also elect a new President and Executive Committee.

The four-day programme will open with committee meetings and delegate networking before the official Opening Ceremony on 13 July. The opening programme will feature high-level participation from Hon. Bogolo Joy Kenewendo, Minister of Minerals and Energy of the Republic of Botswana, and H.E. Dr Jânio da Rosa Corrêa Victor, Secretary of State for Mineral Resources of the Republic of Angola, alongside senior leaders from across the global natural diamond industry.

Yoram Dvash, President, World Federation of Diamond Bourses, said: “The World Diamond Congress has always been the one occasion where every part of our industry comes together to address the issues that matter most to our collective future. At a time of significant change for the natural diamond sector, collaboration has never been more important. Singapore provides the ideal setting for these discussions, which, over four days, will bring together leaders from across the value chain to exchange ideas, strengthen partnerships and develop practical solutions that reinforce consumer confidence and support the long-term success of natural diamonds. The Congress also marks an important moment for the Federation as we elect new leadership that will help shape our priorities for the years ahead. I am confident the discussions in Singapore will demonstrate the unity, resilience and determination of our industry to build a stronger future together.”
